Add I2s to Oppo players?


Does anyone work on Oppo disk players? I would like a check up, works perfect now. I would like a I2s output added to go to my Denafrips VenusII. I do not like the china box to convert.

Oppo seems to be geared toward HT, reading DVDs.  So 2 channel sound is probably a low priority.

I2S is mostly a fools errand in my opinion.

Is USB an option?

Maybe you just need a 2 channel CD transport.  My CD transport is 5x as costly as my HT DVD player.

I2S can work.  However, every manufacturer does it differently because it isn't standardized.  There are $$25K DACs out there that don't support I2S.

We have a lot of fools choosing equipment by whether is has I2S or not, rather than the reissues that affect sound and performance.  I think that's a pretty good example of a fool's errand.

Keep reading and you'll eventually see that I don't say foolish things.  Been to a lot of rodeos.
